Thanksgiving is a time for family, friends and turkey, right? Well, if you're like one of many celebrities, you may be passing on the turkey and opting for an extra helping of mashed potatoes or stuffing instead.

As vegetarian and vegan diets have become more popular in recent years, Hollywood has naturally jumped on the growing trend and a bunch of A-listers have recently made the switch , joining plenty of celebrities who have long been advocates of the meat-free life. From legends like Paul McCartney to legends in their own mind like Courtney Stodden, check out our roundup of 16 celebrities who will be having tofurkey this Thanksgiving!

Tobey has been a vegetarian for many years and is working towards adopting a completely vegan diet. However, he said he goes full-blown vegetarian when making weight alterations for movie roles, such as bulking up for Spiderman or slimming down for Seabiscuit.

Christian took on vegetarianism when he was just nine years old after reading Charlotte's Web. It also didn't hurt that his father was an animal rights activist who taught him to be compassionate towards all creatures of the earth.

She may not be a fan of clothing, but Courtney is definitely a fan of animals. She's released several scantily clad videos on the perks of being a vegetarian, which she said she became last year (i.e. once the cameras started rolling on her as a child bride).Separate question: Why did PETA pick HER as a spokeswoman?!

"I think it's pretty hypocritical you're so into animal rights since you've been torturing your own beaver for years," quipped comic Jeff Ross at Pam's Comedy Central roast in 2005. Nevertheless, Pam has tirelessly donated her time as an animal rights activist and PETA supporter while remaining a lifelong vegetarian.

Jessica was a co-winner this year for PETA's Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrity contest this year. The Help star has been a vegetarian for 15 years and a vegan for five. "I don't want to torture anything," she said. "It's about trying to live a life where I'm not contributing to the cruelty in the world. While I am on this planet, I want everyone I meet to know that I am grateful they are here."

Woody joined Jessica as a co-winner of PETA's Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrity this year. We're not sure if Woody and "sexy" go in the same sentence anymore, but hey, not our award.The actor has been a vegetarian for nearly 30 years.

You'd think someone who staples their nuts together doesn't have much regard for himself or anything living, but Steve-O is a vegan! Now that he's quit drinking and drugs, the former Jackass star said he's trying to compensate for his previously over-the-top lifestyle.
